How to Get More Accurate Speech-to-Text Results
Speech recognition is only as good as the audio you give it. Before blaming the tool, check these points. They apply to the Sayvoi speech-to-text tool and to any other recognizer.
1. Record clean audio
Quiet room, microphone close to the mouth, steady distance. Background noise is the biggest cause of errors. See how to record clean audio with a phone.
2. Do not clip
If the voice is too loud and distorted, no model can recover the words. Read about clipping and distortion.
3. Use sensible settings
Speech does not need high-end settings. 16 kHz mono is enough for recognition. See the best audio settings for transcription.
4. Choose the right language and model
Set the language of the speech instead of leaving it to guess, and try a larger model if the first result is poor, accepting that it will be slower.
5. Work in short pieces
Long files take long to process and a single failure wastes the whole run. Cut them into shorter clips with the audio cutter.
6. Review the text
Names, numbers and dialect words are the usual weak spots. Read the output while listening and correct it. For numbers, see numbers in transcription.
